EXHIBIT L -Reclamation Cost <br />The applicant will use approximately 5 acres of dte Phase larea for site operations through all mining <br />phases. This azea is indicated on the Exhibit C -Mining Plan Map. The planned 5 acre operations area is <br />located in the previous Western-Mobile permit area where reject material has been used to baekfill a large <br />depression located in the previously mined areas. This 5 acre operations area will be the last remaining <br />area to be reclaimed after al! mining phases have been completed. The large depression wilt be <br />similarly used and backfilled, as duected and desired by the landowner, using future process reject and <br />overburden material <br />In the Phase 1 area, reclamation will be concuaent with area re-gmding, removal of spoil and mining the <br />un-mined pockets. The processing, removal and general re-grading of the waste spoil and un-mined <br />aggregate material will provide a more uniform reclamation aaoss the old permit aeeas on the north end of <br />the site. The applicant intends to complete the reclamation as part of the mining and process opemtions <br />(excluding the 5 acre operations -stockpile area) in the Phase 1 Area as excavation operations move to the <br />Phase 2 azea. The clean-up and mining of the Phase 1 area will assist, be part of and necessary for a <br />reasonable reclamation of khe Phase 1 Area due to the several spoil piles and uneven topography left by <br />previous permits. <br />Subsequent mining phases (Phase #s 2 - 7) will be mined using scut-and-fill method where any exiting <br />overburden material will be placed into the excavated azealdepression behind the advancing mine front. <br />Only 10-acres or less will be disturbed at a time in the subsequent Phase Areas #s 2-7. Reclamation <br />will generally be concurrent with continued mining and processing operations. The limited (max ]0 <br />acres] disnubance area during the excavation operations at the site will provide enough room for any site <br />excavation/reclamation, process operations and material stockpiling as the excavation front moves across <br />and through each of Phase Area #s 2.7. <br />At the end of Phase 7 at the sire the fina110 acre disturbanse at the Phase 7 area and the remaining 5 acre <br />operations area located in the Phase 1 Area will be left to reclaim and that approximately 15 acres, more or <br />less, will remain disturbed at that time. <br />The estimate below is for a IS acre reclamation cost. With concurrent reclamation for the duration of <br />activities at the site, the Phase t through Phase 6 aeeas will be fully reclaimed and only the last 10 acres <br />remaining in Phase 7 and the 5 acre Phase 1 operations azea wilt require final reclamation at that time. <br />It is estimated that a total of five days to One week will be required for a I S-acre final reclamation phase. <br />The total reclamation cost estimate for a I S-acre area is as follows: <br />Final grade and Topsoil Placement (1}8, loader, scraper) <br />Tractor (with disc/harrow) 20 hours @I 10/hom <br />Tractor (with seed spreader) 20 hours @l 10/hour <br />Seed Mix 143 PLS for IS acres <br />Compost material -straw mulch 2000/ac for 15 acres <br />Campostrmulch application 40 hrs- Tractor & spreader ] 10/hr <br />Total <br />COOtin$ency Cps[ I $% <br />Administrative Costs 5% <br />Total esCunated reclamation cost <br />_ $8000.00 <br />_ $2200.00 <br />_ $2200.00 <br />_ $ 650.00 <br />_ $ 3800.00 <br />- 4400.00 <br />_ $ 21,25090 <br />= 3 ~QO <br />_ $ (060.00 <br />_ $25,500.00 <br />
